I’m at a loss…everytime I come up with a name I like I think about it for a while and then start to not love it so much lol. It’s terrible. [name]John[/name] was my grandfathers name and even though it’s plain and classic it would mean the world to my Dad.

[name]Oliver[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Evander[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]William[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Noah[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name] [name]John[/name]

Please feel free to add to my small collection :slight_smile:

Congratulations on your upcoming baby boy. I agree that [name]John[/name] is very classic, but with so many “unique” names used now, [name]John[/name] would likely stand out in a familiar but uncommon way. Also, I think its lovely to honor your grandfather by giving your new son his name. Here are my favorites from your list and a few new options:

[name]Oliver[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]John/name
[name]August/name [name]John/name
[name]Robert[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Marcus[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name] [name]John[/name]

also, if you like [name]John[/name] as a first name, you might like:

[name]John/name [name]William[/name]
[name]John/name [name]Charles[/name]
[name]John/name [name]Morgan[/name]

Good luck!

I really like [name]August[/name] or [name]Augustus[/name] but what nn can he use? I’m not very fond of [name]Gus[/name]. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

[name]Hi[/name], [name]Valerie[/name]. :slight_smile: For what it’s worth, I think that [name]John[/name] is a very hansome name. :slight_smile:

[name]Oliver[/name] [name]John[/name]: I really like this!
[name]Evander[/name] [name]John[/name]: I think this is handsome, too…
[name]William[/name] [name]John[/name]: Ditto…
[name]Noah[/name] [name]John[/name]: I like some of your other combos more…
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]John[/name]: I really like this, too…
[name]Xavier[/name] [name]John[/name]: I think this is great!

My favorites are [name]Oliver[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], and [name]Xavier[/name].

About [name]Augustus[/name], if you don’t like [name]Gus[/name], I grew up with an [name]August[/name] who went by [name]Augie[/name].

[name]Edward[/name] [name]John[/name] ([name]Teddy[/name] is my favorite nickname)
[name]Elliot[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Everett[/name] [name]John[/name] (Thought I’d throw in another Ev name…)
[name]Elias[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Nicholas[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]John[/name] (nn [name]Theo[/name] or [name]Teddy[/name])

Have a good night! :slight_smile:

I’m glad you like [name]Augustus[/name]/[name]August[/name]! I always liked [name]Augie[/name] (for a little guy) and the full name ([name]August[/name] or [name]Augustus[/name]) or a school aged boy and beyond.

[name]William[/name], [name]Noah[/name], or [name]Nathaniel[/name] definitely!
Good [name]Luck[/name]!
